Previously, police in Ngada Regency reported that YBS allegedly left a handwritten farewell letter in the Ngada language addressed to his mother, identified as MGT, asking her to let him go and not to cry, search for, or miss him. Authorities have questioned several witnesses and are continuing to investigate the case.

According to the Naruwolo Village head, on the night before the incident, YBS asked his mother for money to buy notebooks and pens. She was unable to fulfill the request due to the family’s dire economic condition.

YBS came from a poor household. His mother, a widow with five children, works as a farmer and occasional laborer. To help ease the family’s burden, YBS lived with his grandmother in a small hut near their village.(Uki)
